What happens when your ego becomes your god… and God literally throws you off your high horse?

In this episode of The Greater Journey, I sit down with Kelly Mason – filmmaker, healer, and founder of Kula Paradise Academy – whose life changed after a galloping racehorse accident, a near-death experience, and a documented medical miracle that doctors couldn’t explain.

We dive into:

• Her near-death experience and what she saw “on the other side
• How her shattered arm miraculously realigned on the operating table
  
  
• Why ego, identity, and “fake rich” culture keep us stuck in the illusion
  
  
• How to understand soul contracts, assignments, and the real reason you’re here
  
  
• The difference between healing, enabling, and embodying your purpose
  
  
• How to build a life in alignment with God, service, and your superconscious nature
  
  

If you’ve ever felt like you’re “doing all the things” but still feel empty, misaligned, or spiritually hungry… this conversation is going to hit deep.

In this raw and powerful episode of The Greater Journey, host Gregory Rutledge sits down with Coach Will Smith, founder of Lifestyle Coaching Academy and creator of the New Me Initiative — a 90-day, no-excuses, results-driven transformation program.

Will’s story takes us from foster care, addiction, and self-destruction to fatherhood, redemption, and purpose. He reveals how a single wake-up call changed everything and why he believes in accountability over excuses.

🎧 What you’ll learn:

• The truth about “overnight success” (it’s a 10–20-year night)
• How to stop blaming and start becoming
• The mindset shift from victim to victor
• Why peace beats “crazy busy” every time
• How resilience is built through fire, not comfort
• The daily habits that keep him grounded and focused
• Why empowering your network starts with owning your story
  
  

“It’s easy to be comfortable. It’s hard to be great. And just two more letters to be GREATER.”
